More on the TA88v3 Unbricker

Developer ErikPshat just posted an impressive video showcasing the ta88v3 unbricker running. He surely trusts his work, as the video shows him intentionally bricking a ta88v3 (by removing the battery in the middle of an Official Firmware update), and bringing it back from the dead with a Magic memory stick.

Again, the legality of this tool is extremely controversial (much more than the Pandora Battery, if you ask), so please do not share any links here. I’m sure those of you who have a bricked ta88v3 will find their way to this tool one way or another, anyways.

Seriously, bricking your own console to make a point…that’s what I call being brave, ErikPshat

In soviet Russia, PSP unbricks you.

He uses a pandora battery… All this does is enable the unhackable 2000 models to read a MMS which is what sony disabled with those motherboards, and why it won’t work on a 3000 (sony removed service mode, rendering pandora batteries useless on them).

“Although this is an impressive breakthrough, I’m going to ask people to not share any links on this, as this unfortunately relies on leaked data/hardware belonging to Sony, and is therefore clearly illegal.”

A “bricked” PSP is one where the programming (Flash) has become corrupt effectively turning it into a paperweight (or a “brick”). 99% of the time it’s got nothing to do with any of the internal parts becoming “fried” as you put it.

Please refrain from making these comments about something you don’t understand.

If your referring to physical damage e.g dropping the psp while its on causing some cracks/disconnections on some chips/lcd/etc. or using a damaged battery that may somehow burn the psp up, they are hardware related so it is called “BROKEN” and not Bricked.

Yeah… Too bad that that’s hard as heck. Also, we don’t really need Pandora for the 3000 since we have permanent CFW, all FWs are hackable (or at least you can upgrade to a hackable version) and there are already downgraders for all 6.xx FWs excepting 6.37. What more can you ask for?

you said it free ryt? for everything for that! i request ? you do something for direct home brew your code by the creating NAND Flash TSOP-48 programmer. direct home brew or software? because .they hardware cantapord ? sorry for my bad English
